Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is actively seeking international support for a peace summit scheduled to be held in Switzerland on June 15-16. Zelensky emphasized the importance of the summit, noting that diplomacy must be as effective as military efforts. He has secured confirmation from 106 countries and international organizations for their participation. However, Russia is attempting to disrupt the summit, and China is reportedly assisting in these efforts. China has stated that it is 'difficult' to attend the peace talks without Russia's participation, a stance backed by Moscow. Zelensky addressed Asia's top security summit in Singapore, urging Asian leaders to join the peace discussions and support Ukraine's blueprint for peace.
